How does the ocean influence climate?

1 answer:

4 0

Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

A boy throws a ball into the air at 10.2 m/s. Assuming that only gravity acts on the ball, how high does it rise, in m?

ozzi

Answer: 5.31 meters

Explanation: Use conservation of energy. Initial energy equals final energy. Initially, there is only kinetic energy (because height = 0 initially). At the end, kinetic energy equals 0 because at max height, there is max potential energy and the ball stops moving for a split second.

mgh = .5mv^2
Masses cancel out
gh = .5v^2
(9.8)(h) = .5(10.2^2)
Solve for h. h = 5.31 meters

1. What are the units of : pressure, force , area

White raven [17]

Pressure- Pascal( $N/m^2$ )

Force- Newton

Area- $m^2$ (Square metre)

Explanation:

Pressure is force continuous force applied to an object. The applied force is always perpendicular to the surface of the object.
Force is a push or pulls on an object by an external body where it changes its state from rest to motion.
Force is said to have both magnitude and direction.
Area is the portion that shows the scale of a 2D form or configuration in the level. The covering area is its analog on the 2D surface of a 3D object.

Explain how water circulates from deep oceans to the surface.

Alexxandr [17]

"These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean watergets very cold, forming sea ice." this is what I found...
